Some people believe that baby teeth aren’t important because they’re temporary (because they’ll fall out) and that only adult teeth matter because they’re permanent. Our Torrance pedodontist at Children’s Dental Group is here to tell you that couldn’t be further from the truth. Baby teeth are extremely important for many reasons. Baby teeth are necessary for chewing, speaking and smiling. They also serve as placeholders for future adult teeth. It is very important to take proper care of your baby’s teeth in order to prevent infant dental decay.

Children’s Dental Decay Torrance

One of the main causes of tooth decay in babies is referred to as “Baby Bottle” tooth decay. Baby Bottle tooth decay occurs when sweetened liquids (even those with natural sugars), such as fruit juice, milk and formula, cling to the baby’s teeth for a long time. Infants who are given a sugary drink at naptime or bedtime are at a high risk for tooth decay because the flow of saliva decreases during sleep. If baby bottle tooth decay is left untreated, the baby can experience pain and an infection can develop. If the teeth are severely decayed, they may have to be removed. If a baby’s teeth are infected or lost too early, the results could be devastating. Your baby can have difficulty eating and develop poor eating habits as a result, have speech problems, crooked teeth as well as damaged adult teeth later in life. Additionally, in this scenario, the chances that your baby’s adult teeth will end up being crooked greatly increase. Fortunately, there are things you can do to help prevent baby bottle tooth decay, such as developing and implementing good oral hygiene and habits early. Taking your baby to the dentist early is very important as well. When you choose a dentist, you should choose one that specializes in providing dental care to children; a pediatric dentist.
